What is Fried Chicken?

Fried chicken, commonly referred to as Southern fried chicken, is a dish made of chicken pieces that have been pan-fried, deep-fried, pressure-fried, or air-fried after being dusted with seasoned flour or batter. While maintaining the meat's fluids, the breading gives the chicken's surface a crisp coating or crust. The most popular chicken type is broiler. It has been said that fried chicken is "crispy," "crunchy," and "juicy." The dish has also been referred to as "salty" and "hot." In order to give fried chicken a spicy flavour, hot sauce or chilli powder may occasionally be added on the top.



How to make Fried Chicken at home

  1. Start by marinating the chicken by making slits through the thick meat of the chicken leg. Add the chicken legs into a bowl.
